For the Creamy Polenta (Serves 6-8 portions):

Directions

Place the pork in a large vessel containing all the brining ingredients. Leave to brine for 3-4 hours (no longer then 12).

Preheat oven to 400°

Put the combination of vegetables in a large bowl (all should be cut about the same size). Toss with 1/4 cup of olive oil and pour into a sheetpan with a piece of parchment in it.

Roast for 20-30 minutes turning over vegetables several time throughout the cooking time.

Turn oven up to 500°.

Remove pork from brine and dry well.

Heat the 4 Tbsp. of two types of oil on a skillet over high heat. Sear all sides og pork loin until dark and crusty. The brown sugar will cause the pork to brown to a very dark caramel color. Be sure to distinguish dark color from burnt.

Cut the pork into 2 inch plus steaks.

Place on a pan with a rack (sprayed with no-stick). Finish in the hot oven for 5-6 minutes.

Serve over polenta and roasted vegetables

For the Creamy Polenta:

Bring the water to a boil in a 2-3 qt. heavy-bottomed, non-reactive pot.

Add the polenta, stirring with a whisk constantly until it has been incorporated completely into the water.

Turn the heat down to medium-low and continue stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir from the bottom so the polenta cooks evenly.

Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep any lumps from forming.

Add the butter and parmesan and stir to combing. Add the salt to taste.
